"Sagacious Chroma"

I painted this for my son for Christmas.

Why "Sagacious"? Trees (all plants) seem to have an inherent wisdom as each one reaches into the earth for nourishment and into the sky for light, absorbing what is needed and giving back what we breathe. They do this with character in their structure, texture, color and movement in space. They go about their lives with such joy in expression, not being a bit apologetic about their individuality. They are ever evolving and expanding......just like us.

I really have so much pleasure in the "written word" and from time to time try to write something myself. As time goes on maybe I'll be able to expand my vocabulary and write what I feel in my soul with the same joy as that of my painting. So, my feeble attempt at haiku:

Hello StevenWow, love your work. Your paintings have a lyrical quality that is reminds me of the work of Charles Burchfield (one of my favorites). Your writing is lyrical as well. I've enjoyed my visit to your site and plan to return.

About Me

I render images with pen/ink, graphite, acrylic paints, oil paints, and watercolors. Sometimes I make attempts at writing "Haiku" about my creations. I continue doing these things "just for the joy of creating"!
